A macroalgae idea.

I really want the aesthetics and benefits from having some macro in my tank. After coming up with simple, yet complicatd ideas, I have settled on one and would like some input for it. I will take a fine mesh plastic bag, were the holes are large, and make sacks from it. The material will be cut into circles, or perhaps a cross, then the macro will be placed in it and the ends securd to either a small piece of rock to lay at the bottom or a suction cup to be higher in my tank. How does that sound?

Also remember that you are probably going to have to harvest this occasionally. If I remember correctly, this is going to be a fish only system, correct me if I am wrong!!
Everytime you harvest this, you release toxins into the system, so you might want to run some carbon around harvest time!!!

This is way to much thinking for me this early in the AM, I need more coffee
